Hey Martin,

Spotted this on the dutch tweakers.net site.
Maybe this is a nice challenge for you:

There's a whole slew of new machines based on the Realtek chip, including the Mvix Ultio, Xtreamer, AC Ryan and the Asus O!Play. Because it's a hobby I will probably end up buying one but the Ultio seems overpriced and the $500, really $300 after hardware cost and even less after distributing some of the "reward" to beta tester for a non-virtual beer, isn't much of an enticement.

The NMT is such a better choice as a GBPVR client that even if I got a port working for fun I wouldn't bother releasing it, there is nothing about the chipset that I see making the user experience better. They are all cheaper than the PCH A110 but now with the EGreat at $160 and refurbished A100 units @ $100 Arguably the best deal was buying an A100 a year ago since you would have had a year's use.

Ok, thanks for the explaining. I really haven't dug into these devices yet, so I can't tell the difference between them.
